Hanger 9 has a habit of discontinuing my favorite planes.
You got THAT right. As soon as sales drop to a pre-determined level... bam. Its history.
Of course, then you get the benefit of clearance prices- sometimes.
One thing's for sure; if this H9 27% Extra 260 flies as nice as I think it is going to, I'll be ordering a cowl and a few other "parts", while they're still available.
A pal is on his second Funtana 90. This first one had an OS 1.08. The current one has a Saito 1.50. I think this model is comparable to The Empire's UCD 60; just a great flying model that has been extremely popular (the F-90, that is. I was underwhelmed with the smaller one). I just wish they would make it in a different color scheme.
If they DO decide to discontinue it to make room for something else, and drop the price to clear out remaining inventory, I'll buy one just to put up for a rainy day project; strip it and recover/re-paint to my liking.
